Hurriyetim
13.06.2005
During his US visit, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan held
a meeting with the executive editors on the board of the New York
Times (NYT) over the rejection of reports prepared on the so-called
Armenian genocide. Erdogan met with the executive editors to ask them
why they had rejected the publication of a declaration prepared by 36
nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) against the Armenian genocide
allegations and at the same time criticized the paper for its
"paradoxical and erroneous" justifications.
Apparently the editors couldn't answer the Turkish PM's questions
and responded by saying that they would reply at a later date.
While at the NYT Erdogan also commented on Syria emphasizing that
Turkey does not support repressive regimes and said, "If Damascus
continues to shelter terrorists, it will remain isolated in the world."
